The new Kevin Hart/Mark Wahlberg comedy Me Time has likely been recommended to you by Netflix at some time over the past few days, either in your list of suggested movies to watch or in the conspicuous content carousel at the top of the app. The film, which is as ridiculous and forgettable as they come, primarily centers on a devoted father (Hart) who rekindles his friendship with his crazy, ex-best friend (Wahlberg).However, Me Time is still dominating the platform at the moment. According to Netflix's weekly Top 10 data, it is the most popular English-language movie on the service worldwide. But such accomplishment did not necessarily result from the fervent support of either the public or the media. In fact, there is frequently a significant gulf between critics and supporters of a certain film. However, when it comes to me time, they genuinely concur. In other words, almost nobody appears to enjoy this film.Me Time reviews on Rotten Tomatoes
The Rotten Tomatoes ratings for Me Time provide us at least a feel of the sentiment surrounding it from critics and fans, despite the fact that they're an imperfect measure by which to judge this kind of stuff.the overall rating from the critics, for instance? It's a disgracefully low 7%. This is based on 59 reviews, some of which are as follows from Empire magazine: "Me Time takes an interesting family dynamic and hides it under coarse humor and clichéd antics."Similar sentiment conveys the same message. Based on more than 500 user reviews as of the time of this writing, Me Time has an equally appalling 29% Rotten Tomatoes audience rating. Again, the movie we're discussing is currently the most popular Netflix title worldwide.
But there's still more.
The most popular Netflix film and TV show, in the opinion of both critics and audiences, are both terrible
These ratings indicate that Me Time currently has Hart and Wahlberg's lowest Rotten Tomatoes ratings in their respective careers. Again, an odd outcome for the now most popular Netflix film worldwide.
In the larger scheme of things, does this matter? We're talking about a streaming release, so ticket sales aren't what make or break this movie's success. Even though Me Time may be a poor movie, many people nevertheless watched it online.
I've personally been burnt far more often than I'd like, deciding to watch a huge, buzzy new Netflix movie only to feel like it was a complete waste of time once I'd completed it. Meaning: As a viewer, there are only so many times you can put up with it.
